@ossia Too bad I missed you! Yes, all is well. Would be great to see you after all these years!

[Piotr Bakker @piotrbakker]

@ossia Are you still in SF by any chance? Would love to catch up if you have time. Keep up the great work old friend.

First Nolan’s Oppenheimer and now this. Can’t wait. https://t.co/4HNHwzWPhi

Curiously missing from all this is Snap. They probably could have beaten Instagram to the punch but for some reason chose not to.

[Piotr Bakker @piotrbakker]

I have a feeling Threads is going to be a home run for Instagram. Elon will soon realize that in social media incumbency and network effects, albeit crucial, will only get you so far. Instead, you live and die by your ability to respond to changing tastes, trends, and fashions.

Hybrid work has been gaining a lot of traction lately, and for good reasons. But you cannot do hybrid work without remote-first infrastructure to begin with. The boom in remote work technologies will continue, even when pandemic restrictions and habits begin to fade.

A few weeks ago I’ve starter turning my phone off for the night and it has now become a habit. Keeping it turned off until noon seems much more doable now. I think I’ll give it a try soon.

I’ve said this before but Microsoft should have acquired Figma, not Adobe. #Config2023

[Piotr Bakker @piotrbakker]

Impressive how Figma is able to ship increasingly complex functionality but keep the UI super clean. #config

It will be wild when future iPads are going to run AAA games with console-level performance. It’s just a matter of time now.

I’m not quite sold yet on mixed reality as a standalone product. But it will be very interesting to see what Apple unveils next week. https://t.co/luhgBeYujG

@wandb A paper I enjoyed reading recently: Learning and Evaluating General Linguistic Intelligence. https://t.co/GY16Prne7j

Starting from scratch often feels like taking a step back. But sometimes it’s the best way to start moving forward again. https://t.co/TJadM10rKF

Call me crazy but I now own not one but two copies of Tears of the Kingdom. Good times.

[Piotr Bakker @piotrbakker]

I don’t even own a Switch but just had to get the Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Collector’s Edition. Can’t wait to play it.

[Piotr Bakker @piotrbakker]

A man is able to convince himself of anything, including that things that are bad for him are actually good (and vice versa). Speaking from experience.

[Piotr Bakker @piotrbakker]

Not to state the obvious, but threaded comments in Trello would be a godsend.

[Piotr Bakker @piotrbakker]

iMessage tapback reactions should just be emojis at this point.

[Piotr Bakker @piotrbakker]

Today was a good day 🙂

[Piotr Bakker @piotrbakker]

I like to compare the process of UI design to solving a Rubik’s Cube. It helps to drive the point home that you cannot make design decisions in vacuum or expect to get things right on the first try. https://t.co/wu4sTqOK39
